Craigslist.com; The Latest Revolution in Internet Searching

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

When it comes to research on the internet, there is no doubt that the most popular search engine is Google. We all use Google on a daily basis, whether it’s to look up someone, find the best restaurant in town, or find driving directions. But one problem with Google is that you have to narrow your search to find what you’re specifically looking for - for example, you would need to enter the city and search criteria of the topic you’re researching. Not only can this be frustrating, but it can be a waste of valuable time and energy. Thus, the birth of Craigslist. Craigslist is a new revolution that provides nearly everything you would want to know about a specific area. Created by Craig Newmark in 1995, Craigslist.com was originally developed to serve the San Francisco Bay area. By the year 2000 it had spread to four cities, and by 2006 it covered over 450 cities, domestic and foreign.

How to Find Bargains in Chicago Using Craigslist

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

It seems like everything is so expensive these days. The purchasing power of the dollar continues to fall, both internationally and in the United States. One of the biggest economic strains in this country stems from rising gas prices. This not only forces people to pay more at the pump, but also drives up shipping and freight costs, resulting in higher prices on goods across the country. These effects are magnified in cities, where prices are already higher than in more rural areas. In Chicago, for example, gas prices have topped $3 a gallon in places. Fortunately, there are ways to stretch your dollar farther and combat high prices in Chicago: conserve energy at home, walk or use the L train to save on gas, and search Craigslist for great bargains.
